This is the best summary I could come up with:

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia (AP) — Media reports say Slovakia’s populist Prime Minister Robert Fico was injured in a shooting and taken to hospital.

The incident took place in the town of Handlova, some 150 kilometers northeast of the capital, according to the news television station TA3.

A suspect has been detained, it said.

My understanding is that the current PM is sympathetic to Putin, and that the assassin was complaining how PM was dismantling the free press in Slovakia.
